The issue: this CfJ is also a Work of Art. Therefore, it appears to violate rule 3.2 (under an interpretation of the rules that admittedly isn’t shared by all Artists). The same holds for all proposals and CfJs (and one DoV) since the first proposal of the dynasty passed.

Why this aspect of the game needs urgent attention: I imagine that most Artists are getting bored not being able to make proposals or CfJs.

Why this isn’t a copy of ais523’s Call for Judgment: I’ve got 3 main problems with the CfJ and the suggestion to post a copy of it:

1) We’re still not agreed that his CfJ is legal (since it’s a Work of Art), so if I post a copy and both ‘pass’ we’re still not agreed on a single gamestate.
2) There’s no real reason that ais523 should be the one to formulate the fix. Even though I don’t really get a ‘my way or the highway’ vibe from his post, that is essentially what is happening (again, even if that wasn’t necessarily the intention). This single CfJ should be enough to resolve the issue; it is only illegal if (a) Works of Art aren’t a type of Official post (since otherwise rule 2.8 doesn’t exist), (b) the Faux Pas wiki page has the power to specify types of Official Posts and (c) the specification it provides somehow also applies to posts that aren’t Works of Art. I strongly dispute the second and third claims, and am still not sure about the first.
3) I dislike EVC clauses in general and adding a victory clause to a critical rule fix is particularly irksome.

Therefore, I feel most comfortable providing a simple, temporary fix that allows you all to post CfJs that fix the rules and sort out the gamestate (and hand ais523 the victory if you’re so inclined) and decide between them.

The measures that shall be taken to resolve the issue:

If this call for judgment legally passed, revert its effects so that we agree on a single gamestate (as far as the core rules are concerned, anyway). If it has not been resolved yet, fail it.

A proposal, call for judgment, or declaration of victory cannot simultaneously be any other type of official post unless otherwise specified by dynastic rules.
